Screenreader by Zed Lopez
Version 2
On startup, asks user 'Are you using a screenreader?' and sets a global that can subsequently be tested.
When not compiling for release, this extension doesn't do anything, unless you:
``` Use screenreader query. ```
Then on startup, the game will clear the screen and ask "Are you using a screenreader?". Your story can then include queries like:
``` if the interface is screenreader ```
Using screenreader query is the default when compiling for release; if that isn't desired, override the relevant section (or un-include the extension).
If you'd like to change the question, add something like:
``` First when play begins: now the ask about screenreader rule response (A) is "Are you using a screenreader? (Y/N)". ```
If your story includes Flexible Windows by Jon Ingold and you want to deactivate the status bar when the interface is screenreader, you can:
``` Use no status bar with screenreaders. ```
If your story includes Simple Spelling by Alice Grove, this extension deactivates Simple Spelling's own presentation of such a question, and along with it, that extension's display of introductory text if the user says yes. If you *do* want to print that text:
``` Use simple spelling features intro. ```
If you include Simple Spelling at all, the "spell" command will exist; this Use option only affects whether the intro text is displayed. If you want to display some other text:
``` Use simple spelling features intro. First when play begins: now the introduce the simple spelling features rule response (B) is "Alternative text.[line break]" ```
